Fortunately when it comes to making friends, Skyfire doesn't assume people will hate him, only that people in groups tend to be panicky, defensive and more aggressive than someone alone. It is much easier to calm one panicking person than an entire group after all.

Skyfire just laughs as Bothi climbs up on him, clearly not bothered in the least by the little ones adventure seeking curiosity.

"So long as Bothi doesn't try to go near my mouth or get under foot when I try to walk, it's fine." His horns would make an excellent place for Bothi to climb and perch on after all, even more so if they kept the local birds from doing the same.
